Initial Notice: NetDisk retiring at the end of Fall 2019

Information security is one of the top priorities of IT Services. In all of the products we create and services we provide, security is always top of mind. As technologies continue to update and become more useful, it’s productive to take a look at older tools and ask the question: Is this still necessary? Is it secure?

With this in mind, IT Services will be retiring the NetDisk web application this coming winter.

NetDisk is the web interface for accessing documents stored in the M drive on IT Services-maintained servers (i.e., MyFiles, MUFiles, and departmental file space). NetDisk has been used by students, faculty, and staff to store files for access from multiple computers, anywhere on or off campus. However, the application is written in a programming language no longer supported by security updates—and thus, we are turning it off.

The NetDisk application will be decommissioned on December 18, 2019, after the end of the Fall 2019 semester. We will be sending more information and reminders as we get closer to the date, so please stay tuned!
